The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1776 Zhang Cheng: "Should I avoid his sharp edge?"

In the sweltering heat of South Asia, the chirping of insects never ceases.

The sky was oppressive and heavy, as if a downpour was about to fall.
In the over-logged forest, 20,000 local troops stand ready for battle.

The mighty banner fluttered in the wind, and the soldiers glanced ahead every now and then.
Just as lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, a formidable army slowly appeared in the distance.

Looking at the dark-skinned Joseon soldiers staring at him with resentment, Zhang Cheng calmly turned his head and said, "The vanguard, form ranks!"

"Boom boom boom!"

As the war drums sounded, the soldiers immediately began to move forward horizontally.
Upon seeing the Song army arrayed in formation, the Joseon general immediately roared in fury, his voice cracking with rage.

"Roar, Roar, Roar!"

Looking at the soldiers constantly yelling battle cries, Zhang Cheng's eyes turned playful: "If fighting is all about who's loudest, then everyone might as well go back to playing with megaphones!"

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng immediately shouted angrily, "Markings!"

"Wow!"

As the archers fired their arrows in unison, about a hundred paces ahead, the arrows fell to the ground, marked with red ribbons.

"Those who pass this arrow will die!"

As he spurred his horse forward, the burly Wu Song roared involuntarily.
"Dodge this arrow! Die!"

The Song soldiers pounded their shields and roared angrily.

Upon seeing the Song army's actions, the Joseon general immediately glanced at his adjutant and then nodded solemnly.
"kill!"

Raising his longsword and roaring, the opponent spurred his horse and charged forward.

Following behind the deputy general, thousands of Joseon soldiers roared and vied for the lead.
"Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps"

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"

Raising his iron sword and roaring, Wu Song, as the vanguard commander, immediately began to howl.

"Crash!"

Arrows rained down, instantly transforming into a torrential downpour.
Raising their shields, the Joseon soldiers desperately defended themselves, then lunged forward menacingly.
Just as the two sides were about to clash, the archers retreated, the shield bearers advanced, and a forest of spears was raised.
"Wow!"

The spear pierced through his chest, and the soldier in front of him immediately fell to the ground in terror.

Faced with the overwhelming onslaught of Joseon soldiers, Wu Song directed his troops while simultaneously wielding his blade, slaying the approaching enemies.

Seeing the tense battle situation, Wang Yin couldn't help but say, "General, if this continues, Commander Wu might not be able to stop it!"

"We must fight even if we can't stop them. After this battle, no matter how many die, those who remain will be the elite!"

He spoke coldly, tightening his grip on the reins.

Zhang Cheng's ability to capture Lang Son was due to catching the Ly Dynasty off guard.
But if they can't defeat these 50,000 men in a direct field battle, then their idea of ​​attacking Rising Dragon Palace is nothing but a pipe dream!
Only by making these local militiamen bleed thoroughly can we awaken the ruthlessness in their bones!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

As the bugle sounded, the Joseon army began to disperse, with several thousand cavalrymen charging towards the vanguard.

Seeing this, Wang Yin was also taken aback and said, "Damn it, where did the Joseon Dynasty get its cavalry!"

"Is that even a question? They must have been robbed from our imperial army!"

Looking ahead with a cold laugh, Zhang Cheng also mocked the Joseon soldiers who were charging on horseback.
After all, if they had played the command game with him properly, Zhang Cheng might have thought more highly of them, but now that they wanted to use cavalry to break through the formation, they were really underestimating him!

"Krieg!"

Turning his head, Zhang Cheng glanced at Wang Yin.
Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wang Yin immediately raised a red flag and waved it forward.
Before long, a cavalry unit of three hundred men slowly marched out from the central army.
Fully armored, Krieg was armed to the teeth.

Even if Zhang Cheng's family were wealthy, they wouldn't dare to over-arm themselves, after all, one Jia (a high-ranking official) could have their property confiscated, and three Jia could have their entire family wiped out.

That's his cavalry armor; even if all ten tribes came, they probably couldn't withstand it! "Rat-a-tat-tat!"

They advanced slowly, but as the cavalry gradually accelerated and began to gallop, the earth seemed to tremble.
"boom!"

After knocking down the Joseon soldiers in front of him, Krieg, the leader, immediately brandished his saber.

Staring at their comrade who had been instantly cut in half, the Joseon soldiers stood frozen in place.

But what followed was a pack of heavily armored cavalry, like demons.
"Crash!"

The general behind him was dumbfounded as he watched the Joseon soldiers being pushed aside, because he never expected that this army of more than 20,000 men would have such a terrifying "weapon"!
But before he could order his cavalry to retreat, the two sides had already engaged in battle.
Seeing the overwhelming number of cavalry, the Joseon general couldn't help but roar, "Damn it, push them forward! Push them forward!"

Looking at the Joseon general whose eyes were already turning red, Zhang Cheng raised his arm and said, "Blast the mountain!"

"Wow!"

Waving his battle flag, the messenger roared.

At that moment, Shi Qian, who was far away, saw the signal and roared, "Blast the mountain! Blast the mountain!"

"Boom!"

Explosions rang out one after another, and it was clear that the rear route of the Joseon army had been completely cut off!
Turning his head in alarm, the Li Chao general roared upon hearing the whooshing sound behind him, "What's happening in the rear?"

"General, something terrible has happened! Our retreat route has been blown up, and we have nowhere to retreat!"

They rushed to the Joseon general, the lieutenant's face filled with terror.

"what?"

Speaking in disbelief, the Joseon general immediately turned his head to look at the large banner not far away.
Did the other side really think they had his 50,000 men cornered? They actually dared to blast the mountain!
"Alright, alright! Is this how you play it?"

Drawing his sword, the Joseon general immediately turned and roared, "Soldiers, we have no way out! Now, follow me! Slaughter these Song people and avenge our homeland!"

As he spoke, the other party immediately raised his long sword and swung it.
"Kill!"

Upon hearing the general's voice, the Joseon soldiers, fueled by both old and new grudges, immediately roared.
Looking at the large group of Joseon soldiers charging towards him, Wang Yin gripped his iron spear and said, "General, please move to the rear first, leave this to me!"

Looking at Wang Yin beside him, Zhang Cheng didn't say much, but reached out his hand to Jiao Ting next to him.

Jiao Ting handed the Six Harmonies Spear he was carrying to Zhang Cheng, his face serious.

"Me, avoid his sharp edge? Who does he think he is?"

With that, Zhang Cheng thrust his spear forward and shouted, "Great banner forward! Press it up! Press it all up for me!"

Spurring his horse forward, Zhang Cheng charged straight out of the central army and galloped ahead.

Seeing Zhang Cheng charge forward, Wang Yin roared, "Press on him!"

"Push it up, push it up!"

As the great banner moved forward, the soldiers of the local garrison erupted in cheers.
Because they finally saw the first general charging towards the enemy!
Amidst the vast army, Zhang Cheng arrived at the vanguard, his Six Harmonies Spear swirling like a whirlwind.
"boom!"

The violent force sent the Joseon soldiers flying, and Zhang Cheng immediately slashed one of them through the chest before spurring his horse forward.
Seeing the astonishing scene before him, Wu Song couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Because he had never seen Zhang Cheng go all out before; his fighting style was simply too brutal!

"Wow!"

Deflecting the spearheads, Zhang Cheng charged left and right, unstoppable in his path.
Staring wide-eyed, the Joseon general was dumbfounded as Zhang Cheng charged straight at him.
Because the Song Dynasty changed its tactics!

Before he could even gather his guards, Zhang Cheng had already appeared before him like a demon, wielding his spear with the force of a thousand pounds, shouting: "Charge me? Huh!"

"boom!"

With a surge of force, Wang Yin and his men, who were following closely behind, saw the Li Chao general fly off his horse like a cannonball and then crash into the chaotic army like a meteor.
